Grand Ole Opry star "Little" Jimmy Dickens is set to undergo three weeks of short-term radiation treatments for a "pre-cancerous condition" on his vocal cords, according a release sent by Opry publicists Schmidt Relations on Tuesday.

The release says that Dickens' doctors expect the 92-year-old Country Music Hall of Famer to make a full recovery. Dickens has long been an "Opry" staple but has been absent from the program for much of 2013.

“I can’t begin to express my sincere gratitude for the thoughts and prayers that are being sent my way,” Dickens said in the release. “My family and I appreciate the support, and I can’t wait to return home to the stage of the Grand Ole Opry in one of my favorite rhinestone suits someday soon.”

The Opry is encouraging Dickens’ friends and fans to send cards and letters to the address below:
